Yes, Trump can lose the Electoral College — but then what?
By Ruben Major, contributor - 12/18/16 09:00 AM EST

The Electoral College has remained a topic of hot conversation since Nov. 8.

There has been much discussion about faithless electors abandoning their traditional role, Hamilton Electors and what happened in the past when electors have been thrown out during ballot counting by the House and Senate, such as in 1872, when Louisiana and Arkansas’ electors were thrown out.

How could this happen again?

Many people ask why we should even bother having this discussion. The election is over, Donald Trump already won, Democrats are sore losers, etc. But our country has a real problem, and it needs to be repaired somehow. We shouldn’t be advocating the demolition of the Electoral College, but perhaps there should be some reform of the system as we know it. We need a system that more realistically represents the people of this country. John Adams spoke about the “Tyranny of the Majority,” and this is most certainly something to be avoided, but what about compromise?

More drivel from an educated wienie.
